Resisting Mugwump Persuasion.


Washington dispatch 10 The NewYork Sun. !
There is the highest authority for saying
that the editorial statement of The New
York Evening Post that THE President re-
called his letter on hearing what kind of a
candidate Fellows was, and if its publication
had been delayed few hours longer it would
never have seen the light" is an unmitigated
falsehood. The President neither recalled
the letter nor desired to prevent its publ
cation. On the contrary, he telegraphed to
Mr.. Cooper his willing consent that the letter
should be made public. and he stood fast by
the sentiments therein uttered to the end of
the campaign. He stands by that letter yet,
in every line and syllable. He congratulated
Colonel Fellows most heartily on his election,
and Colonel Fellows visited Washington a
few days ago to thank the President in person
for his loyal support.

Large Republican Gains In New Jersey
I From The Newark Press Register. !

On the Assembly vote in New Jersey this
year the Republican plurality. figured out by
The Paterson Press, is 1885, as against
plurality of 5000 for Green for Governor
last year. 1t was on the Legislative ticket
that the issue between the two parties was
made and the result seems decisive enough
The Republican vote increased from l0l 9l9
in lss6 to ioS $50 and the Democratic vote
decreased from los, 1888 to as ,69S, Republi-
can gain of 2,ill and Democratic loss of
2l,244.
But there is still funereal balm in Gilead
for the Democracy. They can cipher up a
small plurality on coroners.
